Lunchtime talk
Monday 22 February 2016, 13:15-14:00
Bourdon lecture theatre, Bourdon building, 167 Renfrew Street, Glasgow, G3 6RQ

In an illustrated talk Deirdre Nelson will present her journey to The Kildas of Scotland, New Zealand and Australia and introduce ‘the saints’ met along the way. As a textile artist Deirdre explored new ways of working through jewelry techniques. Her research, processes and materials will be explored in a humorous talk of her 2014 Commonwealth project. 

This talk coincides with the exhibition 'The Kildas', currently on display in the GSA's Reid Building - more information here.
